✅ SOLVED Brass link chain w/horse shoe

[ANTIQUARIAN]

I found this piece at a urban park site, I was told there had originally been a chicken farm located here.
It reminds me of some type of early, hanging, industrial type lamp chain?

I'd be interested in hearing your opinions.

That is a type of martingale chain. Nice find.

Here is a previous link to an earlier thread I made that shows one similar .. not exact.. but similar, and the function is the same: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/w...onspike-i-have-id-you-all-mystery-solved.html

Makes a lot of sense that's what it is, and Dave being a martingale badge magnet, it fits.

Thank you very much for the information creskol, I never would've thought this piece was horse related.

Thanks for this Jim, I'd much rather be a Vickie silver magnet though!
Talk to you on Tuesday,

Seeing as I'd originally tossed this piece in the 'scrap brass bucket', I have to agree with you sutphin!
